But when it set, he said: "Unless my Lord guides me, I shall surely be among the people who went astray."When he saw the sun rising up, he said: "This is my lord. This is greater."

Verily, those whom you worship besides Allah have no power to give you provision: so seek your provision from Allah (Alone), and worship Him (Alone), and be grateful to Him. To Him (Alone) you will be brought back."And if you deny, then nations before you have denied (their Messengers). And the duty of the Messenger is only to convey (the Message) plainly."

Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.

He must indeed be one of the wrong-doers."They said: "We heard a young man talking against them, who is called Ibrahim."They said: "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may testify."They said: "Are you the one who has done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?"

21. الأنبياء تَعْقِلُونَ Ibrahim ابراهيمعليه الصلاة و السلام Young Ibrahim: The Confrontation Ibrahim said: "Nay, this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it. Ask them, if they can speak!"So they turned to themselves and said: "Verily, you are the wrong-doers."Then they turned to themselves (to their first thought and said): "Indeed you [Ibrahim] know well that these (idols) speak not!"[Ibrahim] said: "Do you then worship besides Allah, things that can neither profit you, nor harm you?"Fie upon you, and upon that which you worship besides Allah! Have you then no sense?"

Allah brings the sun from the east; then bring it you from the west." So the disbeliever was utterly defeated. And Allah guides not the people, who are wrong-doers.

In You alone we put our trust, and to You alone we turn in repentance, and to You alone is our final Return.

For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with true guidance from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens of Paradise under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily, it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful.

31. Ibrahim ابراهيمعليه الصلاة و السلام Ibrahim and Sarah Abraham did not tell a lie except on three occasion. Twice for the Sake of Allah when he said, "I am sick," and he said, "(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it." The (third was) that while Abraham and Sarah (his wife) were going (on a journey) they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant. Someone said to the tyrant, "This man (i.e. Abraham) is accompanied by a very charming lady." So, he sent for Abraham and asked him about Sarah saying, "Who is this lady?" Abraham said, "She is my sister." Abraham went to Sarah and said, "O Sarah! There are no believers on the surface of the earth except you and I. This man asked me about you and I have told him that you are my sister, so don't contradict my statement." The tyrant then called Sarah and when she went to him, he tried to take hold of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded. He asked Sarah. "Pray to Allah for me, and I shall not harm you." So Sarah asked Allah to cure him and he got cured. He tried to take hold of her for the second time, but (his hand got as stiff as or stiffer than before and) was more confounded. He again requested Sarah, "Pray to Allah for me, and I will not harm you." Sarah asked Allah again and he became alright. He then called one of his guards (who had brought her) and said, "You have not brought me a human being but have brought me a devil." The tyrant then gave Hajar as a girl-servant to Sarah. Sarah came back (to Abraham) while he was praying. Abraham, gesturing with his hand, asked, "What has happened?" She replied, "Allah has spoiled the evil plot of the infidel (or immoral person) and gave me Hajar for service." (Abu Huraira then addressed his listeners saying, "That (Hajar) was your mother, O Bani Ma-is-Sama (i.e. the Arabs, the descendants of Ishmael, Hajar's son)." Bukhari
